Screen keeps re-opening

I Have a 6 Screen app

After each screen it loses the current screen then opens the next one - to avoid stacking
This way the Back button also exits the app which is fine

The blocks look like the below:

Call procedure
Open another screen

Procedure = Close screen

This works well, up until I get to screen 4. Anything after screen 4 when the back button is pressed screen 4 re opens.

I have tried everything but I can not get the screen to stop reloading

This is a problem for me because on my last screen I have an exit app button which is taking me back to screen 4

Hi Adam,

Welcome to the Kodular community!

That means there’s something wrong in the blocks,
could you show us what you’ve put in Screen4.BackPressed?

Hi RaYzZz

Thank you for your reply

I have no blocks for back button pressed - as i am happy with the way it exits the app

But i have tried:
‘When back button pressed (open Screen1)’
Which works but then when back button is pressed again it re-opens screen 4, Even when on screen 1 i had ‘When back button pressed (Close app)’

What seems to be happening is screen 4 is stacking - even though i have the procedure to close the screen

as with my exit button on the last screen - it works as it should,(open screen 1, call procedure to close screen and call procedure to close app) but then screen 4 re-loads again

I can not work it out happy to share my blocks if needed

Did you follow this guide?

I have tried almost everything i can think of

Adding a clock timer between closing and opening screens
Adding a open screen with value rule - this screen seems to disregard open value
moving the order of the screens - it is always this one that remains open

I have added a notifier to my procedure to check the procedure is working properly - and it is

I have this same procedure for opening / closing all of the screens but this one seems to reload an need closing again

I did some testing and can confirm that the screens are not closing properly.
At this point, to close the app from screen1, use this block.

controls_closeApplication

Thanks RaYzZz

i replaced my procedure with close application and it works, but i don’t want the application to close at this point

8

Use the procedure for switching screens to move from one screen to another,

and close application to exit the app, no?

9

Yes i tried this

close application to exit app - still rebuild screen 4.

I am then required to press back again to exit application

:scream:

Very strange, I just did a test, and the app closes correctly.
Can you show me the blocks related to closing the screen in screen1?

Are you sure your After Scan working good.

Did you set clock time to false mode in designer

12

I think he leaves it enabled

This is my ‘Exit App’ Button currently (on screen 6 sorry - not screen 1)

I ask it to open screen 1 and close app so that when app is reopened it opens on screen 1

If I remove opening another screen and just close application it works - but when i open the app it closes instantly and needs to be opened a second time

Clock timers are set up like this

Every time you close the app (destroy the process), it always reopens on screen1.

15

Yes, But my issue here is screen 4 is acting like a ‘Milestone’ screen

Once i get to screen 4 or go past screen 4 - any action like close app or back button will re load screen 4, even though it has closed

I have tested adding the close app procedure to screen 3, and it executes perfectly

16

Use the recommended method of switching screens in all screens

Do not use close application as you are doing it and do not first close old screen, then open new screen, just follow the recommendation
